WOLWSB vs LORD OF THE FLY BALLS

That's right team... the sun was shining, the capes were flowing, the Nike eye patches were itching, and WE WON! We proved that we are Lords of Lord of the Fly Balls, 20-19! Now, that score may have been a little close for comfort, but they put up quite a fight, especially one Asian chick with a leg like a donkey on steroids. But we prevailed, and it was spectacular. Two - count 'em two! - innings that we mercy ruled them, a little help in the outfield in the form of Lenny from Frank and Faye's old team and some amazing plays in the field. Way to go team! And of course, true to our name, we brought our A-game to the bar too. Aided by two ringers from the land of Divya's Friends from College, we dominated on the flip cup table (even though we were sometimes on opposite teams). There was dancing, too, although no Walking It Out without our beloved Danielle. And I also realized how crucial the collective ipods of Kristy, Danny, Danielle, and Evan are because we definitely heard Up in Here by DMX FOUR TIMES... a little too much for my taste.

I'm so proud of our team for pulling this one out (that's what she said), and a special shout-out from me to Kristy for giving me the strength and inspiration to be acting captain. We missed you all, and I know we will get one more W in the W column (that's not how that phrase goes, is it) next week!

Now for the MVPs...

The first MVP award goes to Faye! She played as well as I've ever seen, with some great outs at second base, and she even pegged a runner! Which I'm sure is really hard to do because I've never even done it. Faye also deserves the award for handling with grace and dignity the worst tragedy in our digital age... the loss of her phone in the bar. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Faye.

The runner-up MVP award goes to Rachel! Rachel proved herself to be pitcher extroardinaire, handling the in-field very well and covering home base like a pro! Good job Rachel!

So even though a lot of people couldn't make it last night, that doesn't mean those who weren't there can't share in our win. WOLWSB is the most fun group of people I've ever been around, and our passion on the court comes from our love of the team! So in my book, we were all winners last night! Watch and be inspired!
